    Binding to nucleosome poises human SIRT6 for histone H3 deacetylation

    Ekaterina Smirnova, Emmanuelle Bignon ... Adam Ben Shem
    The dynamics of Sirtuin 6 binding to the nucleosome shed light on how it is able to deacetylate histone H3 lysines close to the core, including K27.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    The genomic landscape of transposable elements in yeast hybrids is shaped by structural variation and genotype-specific modulation of transposition rate

    Mathieu Hénault, Souhir Marsit ... Christian R Landry
    The gain of transposable elements in yeast hybrids does not scale with genetic divergence levels and is most impacted by structural variations and multiple aspects of individual hybrid genetic backgrounds.

    Oral supplementation of gut microbial metabolite indole-3-acetate alleviates diet-induced steatosis and inflammation in mice

    Yufang Ding, Karin Yanagi ... Arul Jayaraman
    A microbiome metabolite alleviates liver steatosis and inflammation, and shows its potential as a therapeutic modality for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
    1. Neuroscience

    The mTOR pathway genes MTOR, Rheb, Depdc5, Pten, and Tsc1 have convergent and divergent impacts on cortical neuron development and function

    Lena H Nguyen, Youfen Xu ... Angelique Bordey
    Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.

    Plasticity of gene expression in the nervous system by exposure to environmental odorants that inhibit HDACs

    Sachiko Haga-Yamanaka, Rogelio Nunez-Flores ... Anandasankar Ray
    Volatile compounds from microbes and food alter epigenetic states by inhibiting histone deacetylases and alter gene expression, slow degeneration in Huntington’s model flies, and slow proliferation of a neuroblastoma cell line.

    Control of meiotic entry by dual inhibition of a key mitotic transcription factor

    Amanda J Su, Siri C Yendluri, Elçin Ünal
    Investigation of how cells rewire their transcriptional programs during transition from mitotic to meiotic cell fate reveals a two-pronged mechanism for inactivating a key mitotic transcription factor.
    1. Plant Biology

    The structural repertoire of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici effectors revealed by experimental and computational studies

    Daniel S Yu, Megan A Outram ... Simon J Williams
    Computational and experimental structural biology reveals the structural repertoire of effector proteins produced by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici during infection of tomato.

    SNAP25 disease mutations change the energy landscape for synaptic exocytosis due to aberrant SNARE interactions

    Anna Kádková, Jacqueline Murach ... Jakob Balslev Sørensen
    SNAP25 disease mutations within the synaptotagmin interface impair vesicle priming and cause uncontrolled spontaneous release due to enhanced SNARE:SNARE interactions, whereas a mutation within the SNARE-bundle increases the fusion energy barrier.
